Mystery over croc's missing head

Whether it was compelled by a strange ritual or medicinal needs, this bloated crocodile carcass was found in the Miri River in Sarawak with its head and genitals missing. Villagers at Kampung Pujut, like Ingkai Sulaiman who found the floating carcass, are mystified as to who would want to decapitate a crocodile's head and for what practical use.
